According to the present invention, a pair of rotary holders opposed to each other hold a linear metal shaft or a metal tube which is a work W at an appropriate interval (initial gripping interval) D 0. Then, the work W is rotated around the axis and the work W is subjected to a stress more than a proof stress by biasing at least one of the rotation holders in a direction inclined with respect to the axis of the other rotation holder. In addition, the work W between the both rotary holders is repeatedly subjected to bending and bending back to perform a yield stress lowering step of lowering the yield stress of the work W, and thereafter, the work W is subjected to the rotation and bending, By the compression molding step in which one of the rotary holders is brought closer to the other to exert a compression pressure, the convex portions formed inside the bent portion of the workpiece W between the rotary holders are accumulated on the entire circumference of the workpiece W. Desired After performing the straightening process of the work W by forming the enlarged part and then arranging the shaft centers of both rotary holders in a straight line, the compression pressure and the rotation are stopped to stop the work W at any intermediate part. The most important feature is to form a desired enlarged portion at a position. In addition, the linear metal shaft material or the metal pipe, which is the work W, is appropriately spaced (initial gripping interval) D by a pair of rotary holders facing each other.
It is characterized in that a desired thickened portion is formed by holding at 0 and holding the yield stress lowering step and the compression forming step of claim 1 and then performing the straightening step of the work W. Further, the linear metal shaft material or the metal tube which is the work W is held at a proper interval (initial gripping interval) D 0 by a pair of rotating holders facing each other, and the yield stress lowering step and the compression molding step are performed. After that, the distance D 1 between both rotary holders, which became narrower due to the molding of the enlarged portion, was changed to the distance D 2 (D
1 <D 2 ) Reholding by both rotary holders, further performing the yield stress lowering step and the compression molding step, and repeating these steps to form a desired enlarged portion.

According to the invention of claim 1, the initial gripping interval D
Repeating bending and bending back of the work W by applying bending and rotation in which stress greater than the proof stress of the work W acts in a state in which the work W held by both rotary holders is set to 0 and no compression pressure is applied. The yield stress can be lowered by the Bauschinger effect in the activated state. That is, as the yield stress of the work W decreases, the compression pressure applied in the compression molding process can be made extremely small. Therefore, the holding force of both rotary holders of the processing machine itself and the thrust load resistance can also be reduced. In addition, since the metal shaft material having the enlarged portion obtained in the present invention is formed by bending, rotation and compression pressure, the enlarged portion is work-hardened and the strength of the work W itself is hardly reduced. According to the invention of claim 2, after the yield stress of the work W is reduced by the yield stress lowering step, the compression forming step is performed, and bending and rotation are applied without applying a compression pressure to obtain the initial axis of the work W. Yield stress of the enlarged part slightly expanded from the diameter is reduced. Then, a compression molding step is performed to swell the enlarged portion. for that reason,
Normally, it is necessary to increase the compression pressure applied with the bulging of the shaft diameter of the work W, but this can be suppressed and a large enlarged portion can be obtained with a small compression pressure even if the shaft diameter becomes large. According to the invention of claim 3, the compression molding step is performed after the yield stress lowering step, and thereafter, the distance D 1 between the both holding portions narrowed by the compression molding step is again set to the distance D 2 by the both rotary holding bodies. Since the yield stress lowering step and the compression molding step are performed in the state of being held, it is possible to mold a large diameter and wide enlarged portion with a small compression pressure.

Next, the motor 25, which serves as a rotary drive source, is operated to rotate the work W about its axis. Then, the motor 30, which is the drive source of the biasing means 5, is operated to turn the rotation support shaft 1
The drive rotation holder 3 is rotated upward about 7 as a center.
The bending angle at this time is the work W within the initial gripping interval D 0 .
The bending stress that exceeds the proof stress is applied to. In this state, the work W is repeatedly bent and bent, and the yield stress of the work W can be made extremely low by the Bausinger effect. When the yield stress of the work W is reduced, it is possible to perform plastic deformation with a very small load as compared with the initial state, so it is possible to reduce the compression pressure applied to the work W in the axial enlargement processing method. became. After the yield stress lowering step is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 47, which is the pressurizing means 7, is extended to bring the driven rotation holder 6 closer to the drive rotation holder 3 side, thereby exerting a compression pressure on the work W. . As described above, by rotating and bending the work W and further applying the compressive pressure, the convex portions generated on the inner side of the bending can be accumulated over the entire circumference of the work W to form a desired enlarged portion. At this time, the compressive pressure applied to the work W may be a compressive pressure that exceeds the yield stress lowered by the yield stress lowering step, and is much smaller than the compressive pressure when the yield stress lowering step is not performed. Good. Then, when the desired enlarged portion is formed, the motor 30 which is the drive source of the biasing means 5 is then actuated, and the axial center of the chuck member 21 of the drive rotation holder 3 and the sleeve 43 of the driven rotation holder 6 is changed. Both rotary holders 3 and 6 are arranged so as to be in the same straight line, and in this state, the work W is straightened by rotating several times. After that, after the compression pressure and the rotation are stopped, the driven rotation holder 6 is moved backward, the bolt member 23 is loosened, and the work W may be extracted. The shaft material having the enlarged portion formed by this method is in a work-softened state by the yield stress lowering step, but is work-hardened by the compression-forming step in the state where the compression pressure is applied. It can be molded with almost no decrease in initial strength.

Next, a shaft enlargement processing method according to the second invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second invention, after the compression molding step in the first invention, the yield stress lowering step is performed again to reduce the yield stress of the molded enlarged portion. After that, the compression molding process is performed. This is a method of obtaining the desired enlarged portion by repeating the yield stress lowering step and the compression molding step several times. According to the present invention, in order to obtain a desired thickened portion, it is usually necessary to increase the compression pressure applied with the bulging of the shaft diameter of the work W, but this can be suppressed and the shaft diameter becomes large. Even with a small compression pressure, a large enlarged portion can be obtained.

However, after the compression molding step, there is a space D 2 between the two rotary holders 3 and 6, and both rotary holders Work W by 3, 6
Hold. After that, the yield stress lowering step and the compression molding step are performed. This is repeated several times depending on the size of the enlarged portion to be formed. According to this method, it is possible to mold an enlarged portion that is wider and has a larger diameter than the enlarged portion formed according to the first or second invention, with an extremely small compression pressure.

As described above, according to the shaft enlargement processing method of the present invention, the work is subjected to bending, rotation and compression pressure,
It is a method to form a thickened part at an arbitrary position of the work, and by applying rotation and bending to the work before applying compressive pressure, bending / bending back acts on the entire circumference of the work so that the Bausinger effect A decrease in yield stress occurs due to. As a result, the work is brought into a state of being plastically deformed with a small compression pressure, so that it becomes possible to obtain a desired enlarged portion by applying a compression pressure smaller than in the conventional method. Therefore, the stress applied to the processing machine is small, and the configuration of the processing machine can be made compact.
